The management of McDan Group of Companies says it is committed to a dialogue to resolve the issues leading to the shutdown of their terminal at the Kotoka International Airport, Accra.
"Nevertheless, we remain committed to engaging in constructive dialogue to achieve a favorable resolution" the company stated.
The private Aviation company also expressed its disappointment in the Ghana Airport Company Limited's (GACL) decision to shut down its private jet terminal at the airport.
"McDan Aviation expresses its disappointment regarding the recent decision by the Ghana Airport Company Limited to deny access to our terminal," the company said in a press statement issued following its shutdown by GACL.
On Monday, December 30, GACL shut down McDan’s terminal over an outstanding debt of $3 million.
The company acknowledged its financial responsibilities but stated that these issues had not been actively discussed.
McDan also confirmed that “last week, we made an additional payment with the plan to continue payments from January 2025.”
The statement, signed by McDan’s Chief Executive Officer, Kwaku Ampromfi, clarified that the company does not owe GACL the reported $3 million.
"It is important to note, however, that McDan Aviation does not owe GACL $3,000,000.00 for the terminal, as has been erroneously reported," the statement read.
The company further explained that it is currently involved in a land litigation case, of which GACL is aware. McDan added that this issue had been communicated to GACL, with a request to suspend payments until the court case is resolved.
McDan Aviation Hub is the first and only freight company in Ghana to obtain an air carrier licence for chartered cargo flights. It is currently a general sales agent (GSA) for several airlines and holds a Fixed Base Operations (FBO) licence for private jet operations at Terminal 1 of Kotoka International Airport.
